Q Station Sydney Harbour National Park

Our stay was over five nights in a king room that had a king comfortable bed, an attached small room that contained a mini bar fridge and desk. The ensuite was large and shower was great. The stay could be best described as rustic and unique with a very interesting history of early Australia and how the quarantine station was very important over a 100 years. The early indications were that there were ghost evident and we must admit on one night there were strange sounds in our room, I guess we got our monies worth :-). Our car with numerous others were parked at the front gate as there were no access for private vehicles. Shuttle buses were excellent in moving people around and we took advantage of the afternoon shuttle down to Manly to experience the sunset and restaurants'. Hint: The Bavarian restaurant has a 3 hour discounted drinks with large steins of beer, spirits and wine included. An informal restaurant onsite for dinner would be great, however if you can afford it the formal restaurant near the jetty is excellent. The only con we had was the numerous people attending workshops and team building. We enjoyed an afternoon of sitting on the old-fashioned verandah with a wine overlooking the Manly harbor, however on one occasion the company people doing team building was a bit off-putting, with the screaming and yelling. Otherwise, we enjoyed out stay, the guided historical walk was excellent and walks outside the complex up to North-Head are worthwhile, however watch for snakes in bushy areas. Don't forget to visit the Historical cemetery and take some time to walk amongst the graves.

The reception staff were very friendly. The shuttle bus is a great idea as the site is very hilly. The accommodation was comfortable and the bed was very good. Water bottles were provided every day which was nice. The outside bathroom was a bit of a shock. Even though it advises the bathroom is private, what it doesn’t mention is that it is in a toilet block which you share with the 3 other rooms in your accommodation block. Our room was directly opposite the door to the toilet block and it became very noisy for us, especially late at night or very early in the morning. The walls between the rooms were thin as we could hear the snoring from the room next to us.

Good service and food

Possums running around the area where we were dining, dead spiders on the wall, lumps of human hair on the floor, roof was leaking in water. Accommodation is a hot mess. The floor mat reeks of smell. Just overall bad experience accommodation wise

uncomfortably hot, bathroom rap dripping and blocked.
